This chapter is from the book

A document in your computer's memory is intrinsically impermanent. For your document to trot even a short distance along the sands of time, you need to be able to save it to disk and print it.

Remarkably, Acrobat lets you save your PDF documents to a wide variety of formats. If you need to convert a PDF file to a TIFF file or an EPS file, just select those formats when you save the file.

At print time, Acrobat gives you a lot of control over the details of how your document is placed on paper. You can even make a booklet out of your PDF file directly from Acrobat.

In this chapter, you'll see how to use all of Acrobat's file saving, conversion, and printing capabilities.

Saving a PDF File

Many of the tasks in this book modify documents with which you're working; commenting, touching up text, and adding links all change the file. To make these changes permanent, you must save the file back to your hard disk.
